James has gone on record stating that teleport and its ilk actually only have a intra-planetary range, which is why it takes epic-magic to teleport to the Mars expy. He's explicity stated that the cosmology permits one to physically fly from the setting's prime world to the Abyss if given an unreasonable amount of time.

Therefore, in said setting, the monk also has planeshift.

You would have to 'dig' (or it's equivalent) through all the planes in between... so planeshift is useful, after all.

On the other hand, I cannot possibly imagine why anyone would use PF planes (or 4E planes) instead of the original planescape multiverse...

end, he spontaneously reincarnates (as the spell) 24 hours
later in a place of his choosing within 20 miles of the
place he died. The monk must have visited the place in
which he returns back to life at least once. This ability
replaces perfect self.
So basically he also auto lifes every single day. Well, at least the party doesn't have to burn any more diamonds.

Sooo... the PF multiverse isn't really a multiverse at all?

I don't even know why I'm surprised that PF would be lame like this.

"Lame" is just a matter of taste. Once upon a time, I came up with a homebrew campaign setting where you could walk from the prime material plane to the elemental planes (i.e., if you walked far enough north, you'd reach the Plane of Water, and if you walked far enough south, you'd reach the Plane of Fire). I thought it was an interesting idea.

I can't comment on Paizo's cosmology, though.

I respect that cosmology; it's more sophisticated than a lot of other things that Paizo's come up with.
